Apparently so, but there are none of those in my town. Most of the ones on welfare (TANF) are second and third generation. They have never seen a job. Only the back seat of some guy’s car and the local maternity ward 9 months later where momma (grandmomma) hands her an EBT card all her own.

I have a fistfull of friends that are facing this now. They are so proud, yet hungry, that when I send them a basket of some ‘yummies’, they fight with me like dogs to reject my gift.
